Ignite Energy Resources

 Ignite Energy Resources is a small Melbourne-based company which claims that its "Super Critical Water (SCW) reactor technology" can convert plant matter and "and ancient Biomass (coal) into highly valuable oil and coal products."

On its website it states that it aims to "build commercial scale SCW reactors throughout the world." These "reactors", it states, "cost effectively converting low valued feedstocks into high valued products could create substantial margins."

Yallourn project
Ignite Energy Resources and TRUenergy have entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to develop a commercial coal to liquid fuel, chemical coal drying and fertiliser proposal demonstration plant at TRUenergy’s Yallourn mine.

Exploration interests
The Department of Primary Industries lists Ignite Energy Resources as the title holder of EL 4416, an extensive exploration licence for the development of brown coal. The licence was previously held by Victoria Coal Resources. In October 2010 Victoria Coal Resources stated that "the Company’s principal asset is the brown coal rights of EL 4416. The licence area is located within the Gippsland Basin region of South East Victoria and covers approximately 3,700 square kilometers.  The in-situ brown coal quantities are estimated to be in excess of 200 billion tonnes with approximately 14 billion tonnes within the measured and indicated resource categories."
